I kept thinking that the guy who played the Comedian was Javier Bardem (I found out later that it’s actually Jeffrey Dean Morgan), but the two actors definitely look alike

You forgot to mention the nudity.
Jon’s was so casual, it fit the character, and they weren’t blatant about it, but the others was a bit of a surprise, and almost seemed to border on gratuitous. I can hear Concerned Moms of America beginning to rattle their bars, now, when they took little Timmy and Kimmy to “the new superhero movie” and got an eyeful!

It took me a minute to realize Moloch was Frewer, and there was another name in the opening credits I noticed, but didn’t see the actor.

I was more annoyed by the short scenes we saw of Bernard, Bernie, and the shrink, plus the absence of Joey/gf and Hollis later on. Hopefully, we’ll see them in the extended Director Cut DVD? ToBF framing sequence? I would have at least left in the Kovacs/Bernie scene with him asking for the New Frontiersman, just for the “You won’t forget?” spittake.

Now you have me even more giddy to see it. And that pic of Kovacs made me jump out of my chair and throw my hands up saying “HOLY CRUD YAY!!!” My boss gave me a weird look. So worth it.

A B+ huh? Damn. I was really hoping every review for it would be an A+ So far I’ve been reading a ton of reviews saying it falls short and is nowhere near as good as it could have been. Still can’t wait to watch it this week though!
